<font face="Calibri">Hello again talk-au,<br>
<br>
I'm new to editing in the OSM project and before I start making
significant changes to another's work, I thought I should check with
people more experienced with the project to make sure I'm correct.<br>
<br>
Background:<br>
I was having a look at my local area with Keepright and spotted a
couple of "dead ended one ways". On close inspection in Potlatch, I see
that the junctions have not been formed correctly. The layout of the
streets, street names etc all appear to be correct.<br>
<br>
Well, I fixed those couple of dead ended one ways, but then checking
other data around the immediate area, I see that just about all of the
regular two way junctions have not been formed correctly. I started to
fix them in one block of suburban streets, but the number of problems
is significant, so I stopped my work to contact the mailing list to
make sure I'm on the right track. (pardon the pun)<br>
<br>
The area to look at for an example is the hamlet of Hobartville in NSW
near Richmond NSW.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.60619&lon=150.74622&zoom=16">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.60619&lon=150.74622&zoom=16</a><br>
<br>
As a specific example, if you look at Luttrell Street in Hobartville </font><font
face="Calibri"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.607542&lon=150.745566&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF">http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-33.607542&lon=150.745566&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF</a></font><font
face="Calibri"> you will see that none of the junctions for side roads
are correctly joined to Luttrell Street. This problem appears to be
repeated across the area generally.<br>
<br>
My Plan:<br>
I'll do a detailed GPS trace of the area and double check all of the
street names, then assuming that I'm correct and all of these streets
need to form standard junctions, I'll go ahead and edit the area street
by street with my trace and street names for reference to correct the
junction issue.<br>
<br>
I wonder why these don't show up in Keepright with the
"almost-junctions" check?<br>
<br>
Assuming this is an error on the part of the person who originally
entered the data, is it prudent to contact them to let them know in
case they continue to enter data this way ?<br>
<br>
Any advice or suggestions appreciated.<br>
